Hincaster Tunnel

  • Description

    "Lined with 4 million locally-made bricks, at the time of its completion - Christmas Day, 1817 - this was the largest brick-built structure in the north west of England. There is no towpath and horses were led over the hill, meaning that boats had to be hauled through by rope/cable or 'legged' through - two 'leggers' would be needed due to the width."
